The ribs are not plastic they are powder coated metal. We have had this umbrella since last year is a great umbrella for the money!

The ribs are constructed of metal, painted in the same satin finish dark grey as the central pole of the umbrella. We are very pleased with the product, both for its elegance and sturdy construction.

There is a rack, we have done turkeys and chickens, you could probably do ribs. Let me know how they turn out. Good Luck.

Hi W. Rabkin... Top rack & Bottom legs are made of strong plastic resin. The center two-piece polls are lightweight steel, with a center plastic resin connector.Not: I found something out the, "stupid silly way".... On a silghtly windy day, my cloths were hanging on the rack outside. A sudden gust of wind lift my rack & clothing off the ground like a kite and almost landed in my neighbor's backyard! Guess I should've paid more attention to the Old IDIOM, "Throw Caution To The Wind" ...LOL!

It rolls up and the ribs come off fairly easy, it has strings to tie it down once its rolled up. I have done this a few times and only takes a few minutes.

I'm not sure, but the construction is great, very sturdy, feels & looks like solid wood.

Yes there are ribs that go in 4 lines in circular fashion on the inside of the belt as it touches the pulley and on the outside of the belt the ribs go across the belt like ties on a railroad track only very close together. I hope this helps you.

We have not used our umbrella yet, but I just looked at it and I believe the ribs are metal. They are not flexible.

I've never tried a rack of ribs and I have the Q220, we love the grill and it's the best one we've ever had. I think you could reduce the temp and do the ribs. I have maintained a consistent temp with the on board thermometer. Good luck.

I cannot be sure, but if I had to guess I'd say that it is not solid wood. If it is solid wood, i doubt it is made of oak (must have veneer or something). Still a nice chest.

about 13" x 14" you can place a whole rack of ribs on it if you cut it in half or a 10 lb picnic shoulder on the rack. I do like mine, take your time when you put it together, tighten the screws, find a hard ware store for your c clamps and get your self a wheel barrel or metal tray to start your next load of coals once you have started cooking so that you don't lose a lot of heat during your cooking, a large pair of tongs can help with the removal of burnt coals and ashes.

Hi Zachary, These things have a raised rib around the outside edge thats 1/4 inch thick and the main Body or field is about 3/16 thick.. As Outanabout commented, these things are really a good buy.

I agree with another comment about ribs - you would need to cut the slab. As for other meats, I have cooked a whole chicken (typical small fryer) and about a 3 to 4 lb brisket

Not sure if the ribs on ported barrels are any different. My barrel is not ported.

I am not sure, but they hold quite a bit. I can put 3 slabs of babyback ribs lengthwise on one rack. Also can put 2-3 chickens on one rack. I usually put about 20 sausages (7 lbs) on the next rack. Racks are very sturdy, and slide out while you are cooking so you can get to the meat. My guess is that you could smoke about 30-40 pounds.

It is constructed from a mix of materials. Some of the pieces are real wood and the rest is MDF (fiberboard).
